Hello,
So I am having troubles "dialing in" my 87 2f motor from a 60 series. (Its in a 72' 40series) it is currently my daily driver right now, as I dont have anything else now. I just started driving it about a week
It's kind of a long story, but to make it short... my dad thought it would be nice to have the 87' 2f motor rebuilt along with the carb by some random shop near where he lives (along with some other stuff not related to this specific issue)... the work was done about a year ago.
I had previously done the desmog. This is the first time I am using the recurved dizzy. Recurved by Jim.
My issue is I cant seem to get the motor running smooth with good throttle feedback with good idle speed or with decent gas mileage (relative to what I got before)
Fiddiling with it the best I could, I got it close but not perfect. The timing is set with the BB above the pointer in the middle of the window. I cant get the idle under ~ 850 rpm unless I mess with the timing but it runs decent where it is(unless I pull in the opposite direction of throttle linkage, and even with all linkage and springs removed). Also when listening to the exhaust it sounds like it has hiccups or brief moments of stalling or something.
Is there something wrong with my desmog set up or somewhere I can start? I have some pictures and video of my setup. If any additional info please let me know and I can provide. I know there are a lot of other threads about this kind of stuff but I still cant figure it out
Any ideas, suggestions or help is appreciated. Thanks guys
